Alex walked passed the altar and stood in front of the wall behind the altar with a thoughtful look.
"Hmm, one of the bricks on this wall looks a little unusual compared to the others."
Walking closer to the said brick, Alex frowned, "It really looks more worn out compared to the bricks around it."
"It's almost as if it's been touched too frequently for some reason."
With that thought, Alex felt like he grasped what's happening.
Raising his hand, Alex slowly moved it closer to the wall.
Then when he touched the brick, Alex's eyes lit up and he pushed it.
Click!
The sound of gears turning suddenly sounded behind the wall as if some mechanism had just been triggered.
Then a sudden sound suddenly sounded from behind Alex and he hurriedly looked behind him.
Alex's sight immediately got fixed at the altar not far away from him.
The mechanism that has just been triggered by Alex seems to be related to the altar.
Because at this time, through some mechanism, the altar is being pulled down under the floor.
Soon, the altar has totally disappeared and what's left is just a hole on the ground that leads into the unknown.
Alex looked around to see if there's anything else that he should look out for in the room.
After making sure that there's nothing else, Alex slowly and vigilantly approached the hole.
Peeking at it, Alex saw that it was actually a tunnel heading towards somewhere behind the wall that Alex just touched.
"A tunnel? I hope there's nothing that'll act like a jumpscare here."
Alex said.
Unlike the walls here in the pyramid that have torches, the tunnel is so dark because there's nothing like that.
After thinking for a while, Alex reluctantly jumped into the hole.
"I should proceed slowly. I won't see if there's danger around since it's this dark."
Slowly, Alex took his first step into the darkness, staying alert for anything that could happen.
For 10 minutes, Alex just walked in the dark without encountering anything.
Fortunately, the path is just a straight one so Alex didn't have any problem regarding that.
Finally, after a full 10 minutes of walking in the dark that Alex felt like he's about to go crazy with, light appeared ahead.
Alex immediately became excited seeing that light.
It's like the light of salvation to Alex who's been bathed with darkness for a long(10 minutes) long time.
Anyway, Alex hurried over towards the light with a smile on his face, just wanting to leave this dark unknown tunnel.
But when he reached the end of the tunnel, Alex's smile immediately dropped.
Because at the end of the dark tunnel is a wide spacious room that has nothing inside beside a huge monster.
The monster looks just like a giant lion.
However, this lion actually has two… three heads.
Beside the head of the lion, another head, which is the head of a goat, is in place, making it look very strange.
Then on the back of it where the tail is supposed to be, a snake is moving around with its sinister looking eyes.
That appearance is very much similar to a mythical creature called 'Chimera'.
Alex has also heard about that creature.
So when he saw the monster in front of him, he frowned.
As Alex was looking at the monster, 6 pair of eyes had also been staring at him the moment he entered.
Alex and the monster looked at each other for a while before the monster finally reacted.
The lion opened its mouth widely and roared.
"ROAR!"
That roar caused a shock wave in the air because of how fierce it was.
Alex felt the place that he's standing on become unsteady because of the shock brought by the roar.
It was like an earthquake had just occurred.
That roar brought Alex back to reality.
Immediately, Alex took out the knife from his inventory and assumed a fighting stance.
At the same time, Alex didn't forget to use [Inspect] on this bizarre looking monster.
[Chimera]
[Legendary-class]
[Level 133 (3-Star)]
[Strength: 16,561] | [Constitution: 17,980] | [Agility: 13,276] | [Intelligence: 15,734] | [Darkness: 14,753]
…
When Alex saw the result of [Inspect] and learned that this strange monster is actually a Legendary monster, Alex eyes lit up.
"My guess wasn't wrong. There was indeed a Legendary-class monster here."
Looking at the three heads that are also staring at him, Alex felt that they suddenly became cute in his eyes.
Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Thanks for appearing in front of me. After I get rid of you, I will only have to find three more Legendary-class monsters."
The monster clearly understood Alex's words and immediately got furious.
With a mad face, the lion opened its mouth and suddenly, fire came out of it!
Bsshhh!
Alex hurriedly evaded.
"Ha!"
He jumped to the side, outside of the fire's range, to avoid getting burned.
But just as he did, another attack came towards him.
The eyes of the goat suddenly turned menacingly red and the next moment, a laser beam shoots out from its eyes.
Biizzzz!
Seeing that, Alex once again hurriedly but successfully avoided it.
But before he even got the chance to stabilize himself this time, the snake on the chimera's back suddenly shoots out with a green viscous liquid.
Psst!
Splash!
This time, Alex failed to dodge the snake's attack and it landed on his arm.
Alex felt a burning sensation on the spot that got tainted with the snake's attack
[You've been hit by the Chimera's [Deadline Venom] and were inflicted with 'poisoned' status.]
[For the next 30 seconds, your health will decrease by 1000 every second.]
…
"Damn it!"
Seeing that, Alex can't help but curse.
Last time when he also got affected by poison from the Kraken, Alex already realized just how bad being inflicted with a poisoned status could be.
At that time, he already vowed that he will get an antidote or a poison resistance skill of some sort.
But now, he was inflicted by a much worse poison and he still doesn't have the skill that he said he would get!
Anyway, Alex felt very troubled now.
